Yea, right.

Very true.

The problem I have is, there are MANY people, some in a position of authority, who believe that we must find out "why" they hate us so....

I have seen many muslim sympathisers. They say things like, "Well, the average muslim isn't like that".. That may be true, however, they do read the same book. And when pressed, they do not like us. I know, I have asked people I considered friends who are muslims. They were real muslims to.. From Jordan.. We are infidels. We must convert, submit or die... That is what their good book says...

Ordinarily I would agree with your statement. But I am finding it harder and harder to do it. It may a broad brush I am using but they are making it very easy to do.

The fact is, we are at war with the muslim extremist. And there are more and more of them living among us. They do so much damage, in my opinion, when they do not denounce this stuff. Now, I recognise that some of the groups here did just that. But there are a lot of them that agree with what happened.

What are we to do as a country? I noticed your point about the internment camps for the Japanese during WW2. We were fighting for our lives, as we are now, and there were spies among us. I am not saying that it was right to do that to American citizens.. But, given the circumstances, they did what they thought best.

But back to my question... What do we do as a country? Just let it go? Continue to be to worried about offending someone? What happens when they do this at a hospital or a school? It is coming.. You see, they see this as a war.. And unless we step up to that challenge, we will have many horrible lessons to learn until we do get it.

Maybe your right Phoebe... Maybe I am being ugly. I am not trying to be. Just honest. Just as others have talked about "extreme" views within Christianity... In the end, their extreme views hurts us all whether they intend for it to or not. Kind of the same thing I think.

Oh please....must I list the differences between Christian extremists and Muslim extremists?

This is tired old and worn out discourse.

Our GOD, nor His book endorse ANY kind of mistreatment, let alone killing, of anyone....period. One CANNOT claim to be Christian AND be a killer BECAUSE of theor faith....it doesnt compute, there is no correlating scripture in or out of context (please save the ammo if you try dragging obcure OT text in...you know as well as I thats not what motivates "Christian terrorists)

The corrupt motive for Christian killers is NOT that the victim is not Christian. As perverse as it is...its in theor twisted mind to save lives, and the Bible does NOT support it.

The Christian extremists so called, do not hold something against entire races, nationalities, nor seek to impose the equivalent of a Christian caliphate.

the Christian extremists ARE one-offers....IOW, if one strikes in OK, we have absolutely ZERO need or desire to find the church where THEY attended for fear its a hornets nest of like minded idiots

There is no critical mass of "extremists Christians" where they have nation states, where they kidnap and kill JUST because the other person is of another faith.

The list goes on, the contrasts are stark, and these politically correct talking points are superficially ear tickling but on ANY level of logical examination.....found lacking.

"If you hear it said about one of the towns...that wicked men have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods you have not known),then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you,you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. Destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock." Deut 13:12-18

"...and whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman." 2 Ch 15:13

"[T]hou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth; But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee..." Deutoronomy 20:16-17

There are quite a few of these in the Bible actually. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If someone wanted to be a violent Christian (and they have) there is ample material in the Bible to base such an interpretation off of.

Curious what the investigation will turn up.

There is no excuse for a Christian to be violent, Jesus rebuked violence more than once.

Anyone who tried to make the New Testament the equivalent of the Quran would ignorant of the message of the Gospel and the entire Bible.
